Surf Week Update

All I can say this crazy week has come to an end and now I can finally rest. 

It all started early morning Wednesday with us working on the Hawaii 5-0 set as extras. It was a great experience to be apart of it, but I would not do it again. 

Then we jump right into the Hawaii NSSA Regionals Championships on Thursday thru Saturday. It was a great event held at Kewalos in 2-3 foot surf. Devin boy had a great showing by advancing to three out four division finals.

Open Mini Grom............3rd
Explorer Super Grom....2nd
Explorer Menehune.......6th
In the fourth division the open boys he advanced to the Repo and place 5th. 

Then on Sunday we finished  up the other half of HSA at Makaha. It was a solid 3-4 feet with some off shore winds. So it can be said the kids scored a great surf session at Makaha. Devin made the finals once again and place 3rd. 

The week prior HSA, Nicole surfed in her girls 17 and under division and advanced to repo round.  Though she didn't make it to the finals, she was surfing really good.

Well thats the update from a crazy week. Now it's time for me to get some sleep.

Yah right!!!

The Hardware!!!

Freestyle Watches

Devin just received another set of great freestyle watches the other day. I tell you what when a box comes in with his name on it he's all smiles. After opening the box he was stoke to find a gromtide and shark watch that he likes to wear while surfing or just cruzing around.
If you haven't got your new 2011 freestyle watch, what are you waiting for. This years line of watches is sick as always. As you can see in the 2011 catalog in the picture. Go to my links and check out the freestyle site to find your watch.
I hope you find your watch. Till next time.
Aloooha.

Up north again

Here we are again on the north shore for a little surf sesh and dinner on the beach. What a life.

Hump Day Surfing

Aloha...
Here we are on the north shore of Oahu for a late surf session at Ehukai. Of course the kids are out while I have the camera duties once again. I can't complain to much because I enjoy watching them surf. Or at least I think so. Hahaha
From the looks of things the HSA turtle bay contest will be canceled once again for the second week in a row. Oh well I guess we get to free surf all weekend instead or clean the house. What to do.
That's it for now....peace.

Ransom Cru Member

Congrats to Devin boy who is now part of the Ransom team.
If you don't know what Ramson is, they are a sick surf wax manufacture. Its by far my favorite wax to use on my board for awhile now. They also carry other products (deck pad, leashes, day board bags for 5'0 and up) that you can see in Devins picture. We have been doing this surf thing for awhile now and Ransom has board bags and other items that is actually made with the grom in mind.
So check out the Ransom website in my links to find out more about them.
A big MAHALO goes out to the Ransom Cru.
Congratulations Devin Boy!!!!

Volcom QS

We are at Maili point for the VQS. Devin and Nicole are both entered in this contest. If you make the finals you are qualified for the main contest on the mainland. Unfortunately Nicole didn't advance from her heat. But she tried really hard. Keep it up sister. As for Devin, he was in the finals. Now we are waiting for the award ceremony to see where he placed. Either way great job devin!!!

The results are in and Devin place 3rd...Great job Devin boy!!! Now we await the invitation for the Volcom contest at Newport.

Want to say thanks the the guys at Volcom for putting on a great event once again.
Brada Kaz for getting up early and picking up my kids to make sure they got there on time...Much Mahalos!!!!

Day two of the surf trip.

Alooha,
Well it's now day two if the Blanco's surf trip. It started with a drive to the east side. Once there things didn't look that great for the kids. So we had to make decision where to go to next. And here we are at old fateful "Kewalos". It's about 1-2 feet and ripable. Well that's what Devin, Nicole, and Tia are doing, ripping it.
After this session, we need to stop and get some ding repair stuff to fix some boards. Then to top it off, we will hit another late session at hau bush.
What can I say... Another fun filled day with the Blanco's. Chee hooo!!!

Hanging with the Blanco's

This is day one of the Blanco's vacation. We are at pyramid rock and it's firing (4-6 feet Hawaiian). Jordan and Simon are out there battling the conditions. Hopefully they get a couple of waves. Devin, Nicole, and Tia decided to sit this session out. That was a good decision on their part.
I don't know what up with this weather (lots of rain) right now but it really sucks. We need the rain but this is getting carried away.
Well people you have a great day!!!

Here's the scoops from this weekend.

Aloha Gang...
Well first of all the HSA surf contest was cancelled due to lack of waves and the weather. I have mix feeling about the contest being cancelled.  Devin doesn't get to compete and surf. But I get to do things around the new house. The house part can go either way. Hahaha... Good news, we are almost at a point where we can call our new place "Home". And I cant wait for that to happen.

In between taking the kids surfing(very rare) and house work, we made our way to "Blue Hawaii Surf" Pearl Ridge to meet our friend Joel and the rest of Hurley Surf team. It was great event...Hurley and Blue Hawaii provided free stickers, posters, and hats. what a great way to start my Christmas shopping. Just kidding. If you do get a Hurley hat from me, I bought it. hahaha.

Also the Blancos are trying to fly home today. but we need to see if they get out. Hopefully they do!!! Once they finally get here, the surf sessions for two weeks is on.

Well gang that about it for now. Will keep you posted.
